M-x cua-mode should work out of the box

• CJefferson 6y ago
  cua conflicts with org, so you can't use them both together (I've been told, and googling suggests this is true)

    There are a few key binding collisions, but otherwise they can be used together.

      So now you are telling a noob who just wants to get some task done to start resolving key binding collisions.

        The noob probably won't even be aware of the collisions if they're a new emacs user. The org-mode keybindings will override the cua-mode bindings. Afaik, it's only shift+arrow keys. A noob can pick up emacs, type M-x cua-mode M-x org-mode and have a simple to use outliner which recognizes most of the keyboard shortcuts they're familiar with.
